Worth knowing
When you register for notifications for the first time, you will receive an email from us requesting confirmation of your address. Simply click on the link to validate your email address and you will start receiving your chosen updates.
You don’t have to provide a username or password to use the notification service. If you want to unsubscribe from the service, you can do so by simply clicking on the link in the email.
In order to facilitate this simple subscription procedure it was necessary we had to forgo giving users the possibility of calling up and amending their subscriptions. However, if you wish, we can send you a database excerpt (XLS) of your subscription by email. You can submit your request using this
form.
